Founded in 2005, Wave Development has quickly become one of the Outer Bank’s most widely recognized and highly regarded custom home builders and general contractors. Much of this is due to the ideals and principles of founder and president, Gene Martin. As a 3rd generation builder, Gene has more than twenty-five years of hands-on experience and virtually grew up building homes with his father and grandfather.

Gene’s outstanding reputation is a result of his strong commitment to superior quality, expert design, and unparalleled customer service.

Wave Development is unequivocally committed to building homes of great architectural merit and enduring value. While never departing from the processes that define outstanding workmanship, Wave Development builds and renovates homes that not only reflect your aesthetic sensibilities but respond to your needs and ultimately your dreams.

Wave Development takes great pride in building and managing the customer relationship. For it’s not simply the outcome that qualifies the building project as successful; rather it’s the day-to-day project management, the coordination of services, and the minimization of homeowner disruptions that are equally as important as the finished product. From design consultation through interior design and landscaping—and every step in between—Wave Development's unparalleled customer service and attention to detail sets the company apart.
